Rahs new logo

Rah at the moment is applying for jobs and sending her CV out to production companies around Christchurch looking for a job in the film industry. We both decided that we should create a cooperate identity for herself just to add a bit more of a professional touch . This is the logo that I came up with for her, and this will be put on top of her CV and we will look at getting business cards printed out in the near future. Hopefully you will see alot more of this logo

The Yellow Owl

Due to gail forced winds The Yellow Owl did not take flight in the weekend, we hope to reschedule flights to later on this week.

New Briefs

 First brief we got given for this year was a CD/DVD package which must hold two discs and have a booklet at least four pages big. For mine I chose to do a double Dvd package for a Richard Pryor best of. I chose this so I could put a bit of a retro look on it, because I really like the new retro look movie posters that are coming out at the moment. Once I get the package back from marking I will put up a photo of it so you can see how it all goes together.

The second brief we got was a one colour one page magazine advert which we had to complete in two days. I'm quite happy with the result, I took both the images of the shoes and backround.

The making of "The Yellow Owl"

Kite day is tomorrow, and I finally got around to making it the other night and illustrated it last night. It is made of some branches I found outside that had fell off the punga tree crape paper and wool. Haven't tried it out to see if it flies at all yet. So tomorrow could be quite interesting.

Thanks Mama Sue!!!

A big thankyou to Sue Dickson for donating $30 for a Holga lens, its all ordered and on its way down to us. You are the best mother in law a boy could ask for. Soon as we get it we will have to come down to Timaru to take your Holga styled photo!

Thankyou so much!

Life after course

I have just applied for my first Design job today. As course is coming to an end in April I thought I should get my A into G and start looking for work. So onto to Trademe I went and found a Sign designer and Vinyl applicator job out at Riccarton. I was really excited to see this cause I used to do a bit Signwriting for my job in Levin, and quite enjoyed doing it. But I never really had much of a say in the design of the signs, and didnt understand to much about the design either. So with a bit of experience in sign writing and studying design for the last year I have a slight confidence in at least getting an interview for the job. It would be such a relief if I was to get this job so I could go straight from graduating from Natcoll to a full time design job and not have to compete with the rest of my classmates for what little design jobs are out there.

Fingers crossed!

To Holga or not to Holga?

I have found a lens on trademe that will take Holga style photos,which give a cool old school vintage look to them. There are also attachments that you can buy that fit on the Holga lens for fisheye and Macro. I know the lens is only $30 and I should just shut up and buy the thing but $30 is proving to be a really big sum of cash to part with at the moment. Hence the urgency for a part time job. Maybe we will see some Holga shoots on this blog in the near future.

PS. Donations are very welcome, and I will repay you by taking your photo with the brand new lens! Chance of a lifetime I say.
